A Fish Story.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The Sunday
Capitol to-day, in commenting on the
appointment of Prof. Baird's successor,
says: 1.-The appointment of Solicitor
McCue as United States fish commits
sioner instead of Maj. f. b. Ferguson,
who wanted the place, means that there
is to be thorough investigation of the
way in which the money appropriated
for the fish business is and has been ex-
pended. The late Prof. Baird was not
sharp business man and did not keep
a very close watch upon the ways Of
some of his surbordinateS. Heretofore
there have been some strange things
done in other departments of scientific
work for the government, and perhaps
the fish commission when inquired
into, may have some unwritten history"

fell out to the pavement below. By
testing the bars it was found that
enough of them had been sawed through
to admit the passage OF a mans body.
They were held in place by gelatine,
colOred by bits of steel filings. so that it
could not be detected; Pomeroy was
at once searched, and two steel saws
were found secreted in the lining of his
jacket. He was furious at the dis
cOvery. and declared if he had
had time to saw one more bar he would
have killed the watchman and made his

Pomeroy's aged mother supplied him

ciously hacked twelve-year-Old Katie

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Burchard
seems to be all unfortunate name for
this administration. as well as for the
Republican candidate who barely
missed sitting in Cleveland's place. A
Mr.. Burchard is United States consul in
Honduras. He is an app0intee of this
administration. He has written a re-
port, which comments with great dis
favor and severity upon VIII t he calls
the immoral habits of the people of
Honduras, and. worse than that, the
state department has given official sane
ton to the arraignment of the people of
Honduras by printing this report. And
now the government of Honduras
wishes to have Burchard removed.
Failing in that, it is evident that his III
fiuence is gone. and the United States
will be preiudiced in Honduras as long
as he shall stay there. 1t cannot be
learned whether or not Burchard is

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Now that the gov
ernment's majority has dwindled to sew
enty-eight, and all signs point to re-
turn to power of the GladStone-Pa Parnell
alliance, attention is again directe to
the question of an Irish parliament. A
great deal of discussion may be looked
for during the next few months as to
what is the best form of such body,
for GladstOnian victory means home
rule, and home rule almost certainly
implies Dublin parliament sooner or
later, whatever makeShiftS and SubSti-
tuteS may intervene. Gavan Duffy is
already in the field with scheme for a
parliament in College Green. He con-
tributes to the September number of the
Contemporary Review the outline of a
plan for house of commons and a SEN
ate. The house is to be composed of 105
members. ..and the senate of fifty-fOur.
The appointment of the judiciary is to
be upon the lines laid down in Mr.. Glad
stones measure in the last parliament
Mr.. Duffy intimateS that Mr.. Gladstone
is open to conviction upon the question
of having Irish representation at West
minister in addition to the local parlia-
ment. 1t is known that Mr.. Gladstone
was willing to make concessions on this
point toward the close of the last SeS-
sion.

Trafalgar square, which has been the
scene of so many tumutuOuS gather
ings, was invaded last night by very
respectable and orderly crowd to attend
a Liberal union league meeting. There
was plenty of enthusiasm to take the
place of the excitement customary at
Nelson monument meetings. Four
platforms were provided for speakers,
and were utilized by ten members of
the house of commons, including
Messrs. Co ybeare, Nolan and other
good speakers, who denounced the
proclamation of. the Irish National
league. This was the inaugural meet
ing of series, which will be held
throughout England for a similar pur-
pose. Every reference of the speakers
to Mr.. Chamberlain was greeted with
groans and shouts of ''The Crummagem
turn-coat.' 1t is very evident that
Joseph is not wanted by the Liberals,
and indeed he is not regarded as a very
valuable adjunct of any party just now.

prevalent in Ireland was eviction. If
England imprisoned men for resisting

Canadian Knights to Secede From
the General Assembly.

Special TO the Globe.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 2S.-Rumors
have been current for some time past
that Canadian Knights of Labor in
tended to secede from the general as
sembly, chiefly because of dissatisfac-
ton at the payment of money for legis-
lation in the United States, which is of
no benefit to them. Besides they have
10 representation Oh the executive
board of the general assembly. An
other reason is that in case of strikes
the general assembly has not been as
willing to aid them as they would de-
sire. District Assembly No. 125 has
decided to call convention of the order
in Canada to consider the advisability
of taking steps TO secure the autonomy
of the order in Canada, without in any
way impairing the connection with the
general assembly, and a committee has
been appointed to make arrangements
for the convention. The convention
will be held, probably. about the end of
next month, at the same time as the
trades demonstration here.

several years as the result of series OF
horrible murders, has just confessed to
a crime of which he was not suspected.

New YORK, Aug. 2S.-At least "a

suburban town of Plainfield. n. j. To
night seven respectable men were ar
rested for arson, and revealed con-
Spiracy to destroy the place, simply to
create public demand for night watch
men. There is no police protection
at night, and one or two men have
been paid by private subscription to
keep watch on the town. To increase
the squad and give apparent force for
the necessity of it, efforts have been
made to burn half the handsome houses
in the village. Late Sunday night a
man called at Carey's grocery for kerO-
sine oil and was followed for an hour,
when he stopped before a fine house
owned by Mr.. Nelson, at pres
ent in Europe with his family.
He arranged his kindling and, just
as he struck match, Detectives
drew pistols at him and shouted Hands

one of the drowned men was found still
